SUMMARY:Responding to Writing
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, Pam\, Kelli\, and Chris focused on sequenced response and peer review\, response to the expressed needs of writers\, connections between purpose and audience for both writer and respondent\, and features of responding to writing in online environments. \nResponse to writing is an essential part of the process of writing in all disciplines for all writers\, from students to professionals. From scientists to creative writers\, historians to mathematicians\, all of us and our students need response (AKA “feedback”) to what we have written in order to help us develop our ideas and make our writing effective in reaching our readers. \nQuestions the workshop will consider: \nAs teachers and mentors\, how can we make our responses most timely and most meaningful to our students toward achieving their writing goals? \nAs writers\, how can we get the feedback most useful to meeting our own writing goals? \nHow can we help writers maintain ownership of their writing\, while also helping them improve the quality of what they write? \nHow can we help our students become effective responders themselves to the writing of peers and other writers? \nHow can we as responders become more aware of and respectful of cultural and linguistic diversity? \nHow can technological tools\, especially in online instruction\, improve response while also helping to build a community of learners and writers? \nHow can we adapt response to the increasing variety of genres\, purposes\, styles\, and media in communication? \nIn this interactive workshop\, Pam\, Kelli\, and Chris will give short presentations to address the above questions—with focus on sequenced response and peer review\, response to the expressed needs of writers\, connections between purpose and audience for both writer and respondent\, and features of responding to writing in online environments. \nParticipants will then engage in breakout groups to help each person develop response strategies pertinent to their own teaching and writing. \nPresenter Bios \nChris Thaiss served as Clark Kerr Presidential Chair and Director of the UC Davis University Writing Program and directed Davis’s Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (until 2015). A teacher of writing for four decades\, he is the author or editor of 14 books\, including his most recent\, Writing Science in the Twenty-First Century (Broadview\, 2019) and the 4th edition of A Short History of Writing Instruction: From Ancient Greece to the Modern United States (with James J.

Her current research focuses on the pedagogy of former writing center directors. \nKelli Cargile Cook is a Professor and Founding Chair of the Professional Communication Department at Texas Tech University.
